Package: rtorrent
Version: 0.8.9-2
Severity: wishlist
By default, rtorrent either loads its configuration file from
~/.rtorrent.rc, or doesn't load it at all in the presence of the -n
switch.
I tend to have more than one rtorrent instance running for the same
user, all of which might need different configuration
options. Specifying all options for one instance using -o and -O tends
to be complicated, especially with big-ish configurations.
I'd love having a way to have multiple separate configuration files I
can use for the individual rtorrent instances, be it through a
command-line switch that allows specifying a config file path, or a
config key that causes a config file to be loaded from a path specified
as its value.
$ rtorrent -c ~/.rtorrent.rc.foo
$ rtorrent -o load_config=~/.rtorrent.rc.foo
Many thanks for considering.

Since there is a way to do what was initially requested, I'm closing
this bug now.
